Perlis State Assembly Complex renamed Kompleks Seri Putra to honour former ruler
The renaming of the complex in Persiaran Wawasan was proclaimed by Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail during a People's Tea Ceremony here held in conjunction with his 82nd birthday celebration.
Delivering the royal address on behalf of his father, Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail said the complex was renamed in honour of his grandfather, Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail, a tribute to his service and legacy in the state.
"Tuanku Syed Putra was the first raja of Perlis after the enactment of the State Constitution on Feb 1, 1948.
"During his reign, the Perlis state assembly was established following the Legislative Council Election on Sept 24, 1955, which provided for nine seats.
"His contributions deserve lasting recognition."
Gracing the event were Raja Perempuan Perlis Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Tengku Abdul Rashid, Raja Puan Muda Perlis Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil and Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli.
Tuanku Syed Faizuddin said since his father officiated the complex on May 25, 2010, it has hosted 50 state assembly sittings.
"This building must continue to serve as a dignified venue for discourse, deliberation and the enactment of fair laws that safeguard the welfare of the people.
"Seek common ground in governing and advancing this state so that it stands on a par with others. Let this platform be a space to serve the people."
Tuanku Syed Faizuddin expressed appreciation to the menteri besar and the state administration for organising the event.
